[CentOS] how to install BackupPC on CentOS 5.2 -- use Testing repository

2008-07-31 Thread Aleksey Tsalolikhin
Hi.  I just installed CentOS for the first time, to make a BackupPC server.

However, when I try to install BackupPC using yum, I get the error:

  No package backuppc available.

I searched the Testing, Extras and CentOS Plus repositories, and found
a BackupPC package only in Testing, at

http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm
 which I downloaded directly.

Just posting this in case somebody else has a similar issue.


Best,
Aleksey

Do you have any sort of protect base installed?

Priorities, etc?

I could just yum it in when i did it.

What's a protect base?


I added the Test repository to my yum.conf and then I was able to just
yum it in.  I bet you already had the Test repository in your yum
config, dnk.

Thanks for your reply!

Aleksey

Here is what I added to /etc/yum.conf:

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64
enabled=1

You need to poke around in the CentOS documentation first - most of
the questions you raised are answered there.

Better to use Priorities!

http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

Set up the Repositories you want to use and set a Priority for each Repository,
to protect your system.
